   Second time visiting Quemar and this time made a reservation on Opentable and requested a booth. The night did not start off well when the hostess said that our booth had been taken and but they had similar seating. The issue was that this was the last table right next to the kitchen, where all the traffic goes by and is narrow. Sorry, but this is not a good seat, especially when I made a reservation. So my wife and I found seats at the bar instead. Now the good parts. All of the bar staff was awesome, super attentive and could not have been better. Awesome drinks, incredible food, especially the Rockfish and we could not have been happier, even though it started out poorly.

   Loved the ambience. It has a DC vibe. The cold brew martini was delicious! I also tried their chocolate martini. I prefer it with vodka but they use tequila, and it wasn’t chocolatey enough for me. For my dish I had the chicken tacos which had a sauce that complimented it perfectly. Our waitress Mallorie was great, she was very patient with us. Nice place for girls night or date night.

   The server RUSHED us! We ordered small plates and he sent them to the kitchen all at the same time. As a result, EVERY SINGLE item we ordered came out at the same time. This resulted in half of our order sitting on the table getting cold. Additionally, he mumbled and rushed through the explanation of the menu specials and needed to be prompted on certain items. He will need additional training to be sure!

   First time going to Quemar since “Chef Jeff” took over the kitchen AND I was not disappointed. The menu has been modified. Yes, the innovative tacos and burritos are still there, but there has been an addition of salad options, ceviche and multiple steak choices with your choice of style. My Ribeye was served with Chimmichuiri. For the style, service, value and atmosphere, it’s a great place for a date or romantic evening with my wife.

   Mary our server was fantastic. she was great in helping us to customize drinks. The street tacos could use more cilantro, and queso, as well as some shredded lettuce and pico de gallo. I would also recommend some blended tequila and mezcal drinks that are in the lower price range. it is a good flavor blend. Overall very good, and I will come again!

    Everything on the menu is 10/10. The ceviche, loaded carne asada guac, smash burger, and bone in ribeye were all amazing, must get the tres leches cake makes the whole meal. Will be back in the future!
